Pause units ability

[Olmeca]

I want to do an ability than picks units in range of 400 around the target point of ability being cast, pause them for 4 seconds and unpause to they can move again, is a channeling spell, if the caster interrupts the spell all effects disappear.
But, I need set "picked units" or "matching unit", and/or "unit group"?

I do 4 triggers,
1 - when cast the spell and actives other 3 triggers;
2 - every 1 sec, moves enemy units in 400 range of "target point of ability being cast"
3 - every 1 sec, pause picked units, animation changes to "none", wait 4 secs and unpause picked units.
4 - unit is issued an order with no target/ targeting an object/ target a point = "Cast_Hero" cancels "2" & "3" - after turn on this 3 triggers (2,3 and 4) wait 4 seconds and turn off them.

But nothings happens, help please...

Would be helpful if you posted your triggers
Copy as text and then paste them in and put it in [WC3.] [/WC3.] tags (without dot)
But somethings to note already:
Target point of ability being cast, casting unit; these event responses might not work anymore after a wait, you should store them in a variable. But then you have to be careful if you want this to be MUI /MPI

working on

I still do some changes on the triggers, but I think somethings wrong...

Firstly, use "Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability" instead of "Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability". And I suggest you use (Triggering unit) instead of (Casting unit). It makes almost no difference, but (Triggering unit) is a bit faster.

Secondly, about this line.

• Actions
  • Set black_point = (Target point of ability being cast)
  • Set Black_Hole_cluster = (Units within 450 of (Target Point of ability being cast) matching (((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of (Triggering unit))) Equal to True)

Why are you setting black_point and not using it? By using (Target point of ability being cast) in your Black_Hole_cluster variable, it causes a location leak. Use your variable, black_point instead of (Target point of ability being cast). And then at the end of your trigger, remove it with "Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_black_point). Groups also leak after you set them in a variable. So remove it with DestroyGroup(udg_Black_Hole_cluster). So your "Black Hole set" would look something like this.

• Black Hole set
  • Events
    • A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Black Hole
  • Actions
    • Set Cast_Hero = (Triggering unit)
    • Set black_point = (Target point of ability being cast)
    • Set Black_Hole_cluster = (Units within 450 of black_point matching (((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of (Triggering unit))) Equal to True)
    • Trigger - Turn on Black Hole pulls units <gen>
    • Trigger - Turn on Black Hole pause <gen>
    • Trigger - Turn on Black Hole pulls ends <gen>
    • Wait 4.00 seconds
    • Trigger - Turn off Black Hole pulls units <gen>
    • Trigger - Turn off Black Hole pause <gen>
    • Trigger - Turn off Black Hole pulls ends <gen>
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_Black_Hole_cluster)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_black_point)

Thirdly, this trigger.

• Black Hole pause
  • Events
    • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Animation - Play (Picked unit)'s none animation
    • Unit - Pause (Picked unit)
    • Wait 4.00 seconds
    • Animation - Play (Picked unit)'s stand animation
    • Unit - Unpause (Picked unit)

There is no (Picked unit) since it isn't under a group loop action. It should be this.

• Black Hole pause
  • Events
    • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick Every unit in Black_Hole_cluster and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Animation - Play (Picked unit)'s none animation
        • Unit - Pause (Picked unit)
    • Wait 4.00 seconds
    • Unit Group - Pick Every unit in Black_Hole_cluster and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Animation - Play (Picked unit)'s stand animation
        • Unit - Unpause (Picked unit)

Hope that helps.

Done

I see everything and I do some changes,
on the "Black_Hole_cluster" is matching unit is alive and belongs to an enemy of "Caster_Hero" this is for no move corpases because you move them and when the ability ends you see the units than was killed.

and I think this ability works well (for me), thanks pals.:thup:
